New CQ2-CARE method boosts coding agent issue resolution by selecting whole files

A new method called CQ2-CARE has been developed to improve the performance of coding agents when dealing with large code repositories that exceed their context window. Unlike prompt compressors or retrievers, CQ2-CARE prioritizes selecting entire files that need modification, preserving their original code. This approach allows agents to resolve more issues accurately by providing the exact code to be edited, leading to higher success rates on benchmarks like SWE-rebench when tested with models such as GPT-5.6 and Claude Opus-5. AI

IMPACT Enhances the ability of AI coding assistants to handle large codebases, potentially improving developer productivity.

    Skip the Compressor: Coding Agents Fix More Issues When They Pick Whole Files

    arXiv:2610.21073v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A coding agent works on repositories that can be far larger than its context window can hold. Prompt compressors and retrievers offer solutions to this problem, but patching an issue needs two things at once: the files that must c…
